Hair styling brush

Abstract

A brush for hair styling includes a handle portion and a head portion. The head portion extends from the handle portion. The head portion defines a longitudinally extending channel and a plurality of openings. A first row of substantially rigid teeth are longitudinally disposed along the head portion. A second row of substantially rigid teeth are longitudinally disposed along the head portion. The second row of substantially rigid teeth radially extend in an opposite direction to the first row of substantially rigid teeth. A bristled element is disposed within the channel and includes a plurality of flexible brush bristles extending through the openings in the head portion. The first and second rows of substantially rigid teeth radially extend substantially beyond the plurality of flexible brush bristles.
